Get a grip, MAGA kidz! It's called artistic license. That being said, I do have my doubts about The Color Purple with an all white cast!

The "ebony/window frame" has to do with Snow White's mother. She is doing needlework at a window in winter, and she pricks her finger. Drops of blood fall on the snow on the window ledge, and the queen thinks how she would like a daughter with skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as the (ebony) window frame.

That is my recollection. It is a story with variations within the Grimms' work itself. There are at least three alternative endings.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, these people just love to hate (and whine). But mostly hate. From the moment their stinky toes hit the floor until they pass out in a drunken, hate-filled rage at the world where, instead of finding the good in others,, they only hate. I can't imagine why they wish to live long enough to wake up and hate more tomorrow! Use your guns for good instead of evil. By that, I mean on yourselves.

“Their side will just have Marjorie Taylor Greene and Clarence Thomas.”

Oh, Stephen! Just when I think the stupid is going to overwhelm me, you throw out one of the gems. Too. Good.

Yeah, probably. It used to be they’d just make a couple of shitty sequels to do that. But now they’re doing all these expensive live action remakes. It’s weird.

“with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony."

Snow White sounds like a goth. Cool!

To quote from the classics: I'm not black like Barry White, instead I'm white like Frank Black is.

that movie did not age well - i hope they have updated it to be a bit more kick ass - and of course the white supremacists are screaming - its what they do (i am meanly happy every time they are triggered by such ridiculous shit, cos i'm tired of them)

No disrespect to Zegler, but if racists really want white skin and very black hair, I suggest a Chinese actress.

Would they have complained as vociferously if the actress playing Snow White had blonde hair?

Snow White's sister is Rose Red, but she's not Native American.

I just read a story about stalled ocean currents that chilled me as much as ICBMs did in the 80s (I’m 61). So there’s that for more important things.

This particular thing? I guess Hunter Biden’s dick wasn’t available.

PS. Ziegler can SING!

What the fuck are all the captchas in the middle of the story or am I the only one?

Ben Shapiro won't touch that any time soon, it's something real that people should be concerned about. Ben likes to get people upset over things that are stupid and of no real concern. But, then again, he's shallow and has less brain power than a piss ant.

Shapiro is just upset that while the part of "Ken" called for a short man without genitalia, he didn't even get a call back.

"you became the most famous dwarf in America"

I hate to disagree with Ms. Kelly, but I'm pretty sure that title goes to Trump's penis.

Would that be a "white dwarf"?
